Comprehension:
Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.

Greek religious traditions encompassed a large pantheon of gods, complex mythologies,
rituals and cult practices. Greece was a polytheistic society, and looked to its gods and
mythology to explain natural mysteries as well as current events. Religious festivals and
ceremonies were held throughout the year, and animal sacrifice and votive offerings were
popular ways to appease and worship the gods. Religious life, rituals and practices were one
of the unifying aspects of Greece across regions and poleis (cities, or city-states, such as
Athens and Sparta).
Greek gods were immortal beings who possessed human-like qualities and were represented
as completely human in visual art. They were moral and immoral, petty and just, and often
vain. The gods were invoked to intervene and assist in all matters large, small, private and
public.
City-states claimed individual gods and goddesses as their patrons. Temples and sanctuaries
to the gods were built in every city. Many cities became cult sites due to their connection with
a god or goddess and specific myths. For instance, the city of Delphi was known for its oracle
and sanctuary of Apollo, because Apollo was believed to have killed a dragon that inhabited
Delphi.
The history of the Greek pantheon begins with the primordial deities Gaia (Mother Earth) and
Uranus (Father Sky), who were the parents of the first of twelve giants known as Titans.
Among these Titans were six males and six females. The males were named Oceanus,
Hyperion, Coeus, Crius, Iapetus, and Kronos. The females were named Themis, Mnemosyne,
Tethys, Theia, Phoebe, and Rhea.
Kronos eventually overthrew Uranus and ruled during a mythological Golden Age. Over time,
he and Rhea had twelve children who would become the Olympian gods. However, Kronos
heard a prophecy that his son would overthrow him, as he did to Uranus. In an effort to avert
fate, he ordered Rhea to allow him to devour each of the children upon their birth.
Best known among the pantheon are the twelve Olympian gods and goddesses who resided
on Mt. Olympus in northern Greece. Zeus, the youngest son of Rhea and Kronos, was hidden
from his father, instead of being swallowed. Once he became a man, he challenged his
father’s rule, forcing Kronos to regurgitate the rest of his swallowed children. These children
were Zeus’s siblings, and together they overthrew Kronos, making Zeus the father of gods
and men.

Q.46 Animal sacrifices were made to Gods to:

Kronos eventually overthrew Uranus and ruled during a mythological Golden Age. Over time,
he and Rhea had twelve children who would become the Olympian gods. However, Kronos
heard a prophecy that his son would overthrow him, as he did to Uranus. In an effort to avert
fate, he ordered Rhea to allow him to devour each of the children upon their birth.
Best known among the pantheon are the twelve Olympian gods and goddesses who resided
on Mt. Olympus in northern Greece. Zeus, the youngest son of Rhea and Kronos, was hidden
from his father, instead of being swallowed. Once he became a man, he challenged his
father’s rule, forcing Kronos to regurgitate the rest of his swallowed children. These children
were Zeus’s siblings, and together they overthrew Kronos, making Zeus the father of gods
and men.

Comprehension:
Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.

Greek religious traditions encompassed a large pantheon of gods, complex mythologies,
rituals and cult practices. Greece was a polytheistic society, and looked to its gods and
mythology to explain natural mysteries as well as current events. Religious festivals and
ceremonies were held throughout the year, and animal sacrifice and votive offerings were
popular ways to appease and worship the gods. Religious life, rituals and practices were one
of the unifying aspects of Greece across regions and poleis (cities, or city-states, such as
Athens and Sparta).
Greek gods were immortal beings who possessed human-like qualities and were represented
as completely human in visual art. They were moral and immoral, petty and just, and often
vain. The gods were invoked to intervene and assist in all matters large, small, private and
public.
City-states claimed individual gods and goddesses as their patrons. Temples and sanctuaries
to the gods were built in every city. Many cities became cult sites due to their connection with
a god or goddess and specific myths. For instance, the city of Delphi was known for its oracle
and sanctuary of Apollo, because Apollo was believed to have killed a dragon that inhabited
Delphi.
The history of the Greek pantheon begins with the primordial deities Gaia (Mother Earth) and
Uranus (Father Sky), who were the parents of the first of twelve giants known as Titans.
Among these Titans were six males and six females. The males were named Oceanus,
Hyperion, Coeus, Crius, Iapetus, and Kronos. The females were named Themis, Mnemosyne,
Tethys, Theia, Phoebe, and Rhea.
Kronos eventually overthrew Uranus and ruled during a mythological Golden Age. Over time,
he and Rhea had twelve children who would become the Olympian gods. However, Kronos
heard a prophecy that his son would overthrow him, as he did to Uranus. In an effort to avert
